Yi 4k is $250 and is similar spec'd to the Hero4 Black but half the price. You could also look at the GoPro Sessions, solid option for $200.
You get what you pay for with action cameras. Chinese knock-off? Expect knock-off quality. The Yi 4k is the only one that breaks the mold of that AFAIK.
I personally have a Hero3 I won five years ago in a video contest, Crosstour Action Camera I use for my rear on my commuter (when I remember to charge it). And for my race bike I have my Fly6(ce), but I will use it on my commuter if I forget to charge my other rear camera.
